Reclaiming Lives

by Joan Treppa

Joan Treppa is a citizen advocate for the wrongfully convicted. She focuses her efforts on creating awareness about wrongful convictions and supports the Innocence Project organization. She is a strong voice for five Wisconsin men (and their families) currently fighting for their freedom. Reclaiming Lives is a story about one woman's mission to find justice for six men she believes were wrongfully convicted in 1995. Through the writing of the book, she discovered a connection between her past and what happened to these men, determining why she felt compelled to get involved. Reclaiming Lives is about surpassing limits, taking a stance, and acting on one's intuitions through innovation, creativity and humility, while overcoming the impossible through collaboration.
